I called and did online chat. They said they dont know when OLED or wigig will be available. Its sad to announce a product in January and here we are in May and they still cant give an estimate of availability. I've gotten answers varying from it wont be released to June, July, August or September. Basically they have no idea.

I have been asking LENOVO about the availability of the OLED models since the launch in Janurary. Initally told April, then May, then 1st week in June, then on one enquirey was told it would be release that day. My latest enquirey resulted in being told there was now now no expected release date for any OLED models.

I can only surmise that for the forseeable future there will be no OLED models.

Very unprofessional. We rely on graphics in our business and had planned to upgrade to the new X1 YOGA's becacuse of the OLED specification. We feel we have been mislead and had our time wasted.

It is frustrating when delivery dates get postponed. I saw one of the OLED machines at Lenovo's TechExpo, where they were showing off new products. I am not a photographer or graphics expert, but I thought the screen looked great. I had the same impression I had when I saw the first LED backlight screens (vs. CCFL); I thought they were simply better than what they replaced. Lenovo gets screens, disks, memory, etc. from suppliers. Lenovo doesn't manufacture them. They pass on delivery dates based on information from these suppliers, and when suppliers announce delivery delays, it causes these issues.

They started shipping end of June. However, mine, ordered June 20 just had it's shipping delayed AGAIN until August 31. Until a few days a go I was to receive it today. VERY FRUSTRATING as my other laptop is overheating due to a bad fan.
